Things You Will Need
Draining an in-ground hot tub can be done relatively quickly with the proper equipment.
-
Turn off the hot tub's heater and filter. Turn off the breaker to the hot tub as an additional safety precaution.
-
Locate the drain valve on the bottom of the hot tub and remove the cap so you can screw a garden hose to the end of it.
-
Place the other end of the hose into a bucket or another location that is suitable for collecting the drainage water.
-
Open the spa drain valve and wait for all the water to drain out of the tub. You may need to turn the valve off and on as you dump the water out of the bucket that is collecting it.
